Looking for some new places to go!! PLEASE HELP

So I recently moved to Pittsburgh with my family and I've tried many different local lakes. They all seem over fished. I've also tried the river by the point and I donated a good $40 to the river. Anyone know some places for Muskie fishing? I saw a topic talking about Keystone Power Dam? Where's that located at?

Mainly bass, I've hit Canonsburg, Peters lake and another I can't remember. I've been to Indian lake many times as my cousin has a cabin up there. But it's shut down for now they're doing repairs on it.

From what I understand Dunkard has rebounded since the big fish kill. You may want to poke around down there.

I fished KPD in June, a friend and I.. on a Saturday, Sunday, and about 2 weeks after that on a monday... from shore. Lost 3 muskies due to no steel leader, rigged up and caught 2 tigers,and a respectable largemouth.. werent really fishing for anything in particular, using chubs and suckers. Many will claim it to be the dead sea, many people swear by the lake. Fish commish told me there were numerous 50"ers in there. Just cross your t's and dot your i's on your boat, trailer, and any other legalities they patrol it heavy due to amish not obeying laws. Its a very nice lake but i believe it gets drained down lower in the summer for cooling the plant. When i went on june 20th it was about 3 feet lower than 2 weeks before. Another good place is kinzua. Not quite close but its worth a camping trip.

There's😊 always Cross Creek.

I think most of the "overfished" lakes that you have checked out, will surprise you, if you go in the spring or fall.  That seems to be the case with most waters in the area.  Most are pretty hard going during the heat of the summer, especially really hot summers like this one was.  That said, Cannonsburg and Peters are about the only two lakes in the South Hills, so they probably do take a pounding.  Head a little further out of town, and the lakes still get some pressure.  Many more fishermen per capita in the rural areas, and a lot of Pghers will travel an hour or two, so likely getting almost as much pressure.  If you go beyond that 2 hour mark, pressure will lighten a little (with exception to Erie).
 
The 3 main rivers fish great during the fall, Yough does as well.  At this time of the year, try around sundown, and fish will turn on even more.  Once the days get shorter and water cools, mid day is the time to be out.  SWPA is filled with "dead seas", as most only fish them during the summer.  If they'd fish them in spring and fall only, they'd never call them that.  Next week the temps look to rebound to where they should be.  Give 1-2 more weeks, then grab a bucket of minnows, and just about any lake/river you fish will likely give up some fish.  If you are a lure fisherman, the cheap lead head jig with curly tail is a river favorite.  Most lakes, I have done great with Gulp minnows (many times out fishing live minnows, other times they require live).  If a fly fisherman, clousers and buggers have always done well for me, but I never really got hooked on it and expanded my arsenal.  Things should be turning on soon, and should last until ice starts forming.

Thanks Pork, just waiting on the walleye and bass to start hitting.  I caught one walleye and one sauger since june.  Been fishing random holes/points and creek mouths.  Tried going up to the dam on the back channel but came into 2' of water and got spooked.  Going to try the lock on the other side of the island tomorrow night.  Another odd thing, I catch my bait with a hook and worm.  Been catching trout all summer long.  Never thought they would have lived in the local stream this long into a hot summer.  Mostly browns, but I caught a rainbow about 3 weeks ago.

There is a spring fed creek that flows into the clarion river.  Ive been there in the summer and the trout are lined up like steelhead.  Lots of big ones too
